China News Service, September 29. According to Euronet, the European Union News Agency reported that the number of schools in Greece that need to be closed due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to increase.
The Ministry of Education announced on September 28 that 118 schools have been closed due to the epidemic.
Affected schools include kindergartens, preschools, primary and secondary schools in various regions of Greece.
According to reports, the Greek Ministry of Education stated that the closed schools will suspend classes for 7 or 14 days respectively.
The list of suspended schools will be continuously updated according to the development of the epidemic.
In addition, more than 700 secondary schools across Greece still went on strike on the 28th, and the Occupy School Movement has been more than one week, including more than 200 schools in Attica.
On May 18, local time, Athens, Greece, the Acropolis was opened to the public, attracting tourists to visit.
The students on strike require the Greek government to increase its budget for education and amend the school’s sanitation and epidemic prevention rules, including stopping the mandatory use of masks, as well as reducing the size of classes, increasing the number of teachers, and increasing cleaning staff.
The Greek Federation of Students’ Parents stated that it makes sense for the students to mobilize because they have personally experienced the shortage of teachers, small school buildings, too many students in classes, and lack of cleaning staff in schools during the epidemic.
Greek government spokesman Petsas said that the authorities are studying measures to prevent students' sit-ins and demonstrations from affecting their and other people's health.
According to sources, the authorities hope to strengthen publicity to correct the misunderstandings of some students and parents, and remind students and their parents to pay attention to the risks and consequences.
